[2] O Lord, have mercy on us: for we have waited for thee: be thou our arm in the morning, and our salvation in the time of trouble.
Domine, miserere nostri, te enim exspectavimus; esto brachium nostrum in mane, et salus nostra in tempore tribulationis.

[3] At the voice of the angel the people fled, and at the lifting up thyself the nations are scattered.
A voce angeli fugerunt populi, et ab exaltatione tua dispersae sunt gentes.

[4] And your spoils shall be gathered together as the locusts are gathered, as when the ditches are full of them.
Et congregabuntur spolia vestra sicut colligitur bruchus, velut cum fossae plenae fuerint de eo.

[8] The ways are made desolate, no one passeth by the road, the covenant is made void, he hath rejected the cities, he hath not regarded the men.
Dissipatae sunt viae, cessavit transiens per semitam : irritum factum est pactum, projecit civitates, non reputavit homines.

[17] His eyes shall see the king in his beauty, they shall see the land far off.
Regem in decore suo videbunt oculi ejus, cernent terram de longe.

[18] Thy heart shall meditate fear: where is the learned? where is he that pondereth the words of the law? where is the teacher of little ones?
Cor tuum meditabitur timorem : ubi est litteratus? ubi legis verba ponderans? ubi doctor parvulorum?

[19] The shameless people thou shalt not see, the people of profound speech: so that thou canst not understand the eloquence of his tongue, in whom there is no wisdom.
Populum impudentem non videbis, populum alti sermonis, ita ut non possis intelligere disertitudinem linguae ejus, in quo nulla est sapientia.

[23] Thy tacklings are loosed, and they shall be of no strength: thy mast shall be in such condition, that thou shalt not be able to spread the flag. Then shall the spoils of much prey be divided: the lame shall take the spoil.
Laxati sunt funiculi tui, et non praevalebunt; sic erit malus tuus ut dilatare signum non queas. Tunc dividentur spolia praedarum multarum; claudi diripient rapinam.

[24] Neither shall he that is near, say: I am feeble. The people that dwell therein, shall have their iniquity taken away from them.
Nec dicet vicinus : Elangui; populus qui habitat in ea, auferetur ab eo iniquitas.
